I know when I changed my panhard rod bushes, I managed to get a big bar behind the bolt head and a big hammer behind it and after about an hour she gave in :') I have lts of metal bits in my shed...you never know! :P

I learnt the hard way on this, its really hit and miss. Sometimes you can buy Britpart or other low price tackle and it is fine, but something you can tell they are just not up to scratch and they will let you down. Classic example I had were engine mounts, bought a set of cheep ones, 1 was...

I'm afraid I was working and then spent the rest of the day driving around the country. Insight have to fix a few oil leaks too!!!! Hope you guys had fun :)

Gentlemen!!! As I promised the war horse is back on the road!!! She's still got a few things to sort but generally we are well on the way do if anyone wants to lane I'm up for it :)

As much as I would love to come and be gate bitch, go away on the 24th for 2 weeks :O Im hoping to be back on the road next month.....fingers crossed ;)

Hope you've not forgotten me and Smokey, Hopefully I will be back for the summer chaps! The old girl is coming along slowly but surely!! :D

Hmmm, this one? http://www.paddockspares.com/nrc8330-pipe.html According to this its £45 at paddocks and £35 at LR Direct. I shall keep looking.

Is that for the flexi pipe or the solid pipe?

Hmmm, where did you find the pipe? only one ive found so far reckons to be £45 :|

Ok chaps, So while we were putting my bulkhead on we managed to get everything out of the way and then some how managed to trap the clutch pipe and split the pipe. Can anyone tell me what fittings and flairings I need to make up a new one and which flexi pipe is the correct one for a 1986...

If the 90 is back on the road I think I will have to try and make this, it was a good laugh last year :)

I know that feeling mate ;)

Looking good mate! :)

I know a bloke that didnt even touch his engine until one particular day when it started smoking bad and it drove to a halt....he got it into a garage and started to strip it down, took the exaust manifold off and found a bolt inside the head that had come from somewhere that must have just sat...

I know it sounds daft, but you haven't left any odd bolts or anything anywhere inside the engine when you changed the head gasket did you? :S
